Intracranial pressure

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is a measure of the hydrostatic pressure in the brain. Three elements contribute to ICP: brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Cushing’s triad refers to a set of signs that are indicative of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), or increased pressure in the brain

Increased intracranial pressure ~ signs and symptoms

In this blog post, I’m explaining IIH to help spread awareness and information about this rare condition, but to also help give an understanding of what types of challenges I myself face.

Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP)

Explore life with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) beyond headaches and discover why understanding goes beyond medical terms.

Cushing’s triad (Hypertension, bradycardia and irregular respirations) is one of the classic sign for elevated intracranial pressure. Hypertension is due to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure (Cerebral perfusion pressure = Mean arterial pressure – Intracranial pressure), when ICP increases cerebral perfusion must somehow maintained above 50 mm Hg). Bradycardia is a reflex response to hypertension and […]
